New for 2010, the Tourism Event of the Year category, sponsored by Glasgow Airport, is open to Festivals and Events which have taken place between April 2009 and March 2010.

This award covers Events and Festivals of a substantial nature. These are likely to involve large volumes of domestic and international visitors and a timed programme. It can be for either a paid entry or free audience/attendance event. The event can be a one-off happening, or one in a rolling series of annual events with a proven track record.

To nominate a Festival or Event, or for further information visit: www.glasgowbusinessawards.org
